Category: Parkinson's Disease: Non-Motor Symptoms
Objective: The aim of the present study was to identify predictors of non-motor symptoms burden non-progression (NMSB-NP) in PD patients from a Spanish cohort [1,2].
Background: Although it is known that non-motor symptoms (NMS) progress throughout the course of the disease in Parkinson´s disease (PD), some patients can have a better outcome and improve after interventions.
Method: PD patients recruited from 35 centers of Spain from the COPPADIS cohort from January 2016, to November 2017, were followed-up during 2 years. The Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) was administered at baseline (V0) and at 24 months ± 1 month (V2). NMSB-NP was defined as presenting a score at V2 equal to or less than the baseline (V0) NMSS total score.
Results: Mean NMS burden (NMSS total score) was significantly increased in PD patients (62.6 ± 8.5 years old; 59.4% males; N=501) by by 18.8% (from 45.1 ± 37.6 to 53.6 ± 42.3; p<0.0001). Forty percent of the patients (201/501) were classified as having NMSB-NP at V2. Whereas longer disease duration at V0 (OR 0.902; 95% CI, 0.847-0.961; p=0.001) and a greater increase in BDI-II (Beck Depression Inventory II) total score from V0 to V2 (OR 0.949; 95% CI, 0.919-0.980; p=0.001) were associated with lower probability of NMSB-NP at 2 years follow-up, a higher NMSS total score at V0 (OR 1.019; 95% CI, 1.011-1.026; p<0.0001) and to be taking an antidepressant agent at V2 (OR 1.928; 95% CI, 1.115-3.333; p=0.019) were associated with higher probability, after adjustment to age, gender, change in levodopa, dopamine agonist and levodopa equivalent daily dose, change in motor status (UPDRS [Unified Parkinson´s Disease Rating Scale] part III and IV), exercising regularly, and to be taking levodopa, a dopamine agonist, a MAO-B inhibitor, and a COMT inhibitor.
Conclusion: Receiving antidepressant treatment and less deterioration in mood are independent factors associated with NMS burden non-progression in PD patients after 2 years follow-up.
